24 Hour Nutrition #3: 24 HOUR NUTRITION AND SLEEP are linked together. By laurent514 on October 28, 2017 • ( 0 ) View this post on Instagram 24 HOUR NUTRITION AND SLEEP are linked together. Every night as you sleep your brain regenerates its energy. As you sleep you enter different stages with the deepest sleep associated with rapid eye movements called R.E.M. Sleep. This is when you dream and it typically occurs around 2AM. If you don't get this type of sleep, your 24 hour cycle is disturbed and you will suffer all the problems of poor sleep including increased appetite, fatigue, and an increased risk for obesity and overweight. Insufficient sleep leads to increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol the next day as well as increases in insulin and ghrelin hormones which increase appetite. Fatigue also can lead to increased eating as you try to gain energy. There are many reasons for poor sleep including stress, late night eating, and too much computer work or television. There are things you can do such as having an evening shake or night snack enriched in protein and tryptophan. Stop eating 2 hours before bed and stop computer, phone, and television 1 hour before bed. Leading a Balanced Nutrition and Healthy Active Lifestyle with a daily routine at similar times each day can help you get great sleep and better weight management!! #drdavidheber #sleep #stressed #fatigue #weightlossjourney #obesity to learn more go to www.drdavidheber.com and www.herbalifenutritioninstitute.com A post shared by Dr. David Heber (@drdavidheber) on Sep 8, 2017 at 5:14am PDT Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...‹ 24 Hour Nutrition #2: 24 HOUR NUTRITION: FEEDING AND FASTING happens every day because when you are sleeping, you are not eating.24 Hour Nutrition #4: 24 HOUR NUTRITION AND THE MICROBIOME interact to keep your gastrointestinal tract in its normal rhythm so that digestion and elimination occur at predictable times each day. ›Categories: Nutrition
